"Kansas City signed defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga to a three-year, $21 million contract. In 67 games, he's yet to record a full sack. The 6'2", 335-pounder is a run-stopper who's played fewer than 41 percent of the defensive snaps in all five of his seasons. The Chiefs massively overpaid for a run-stuffer when they needed a pass-rusher."
"Every year, teams prove to either sign a player that received a lot of hype but doesn't necessarily fit their identity or their needs, or they appear to have overpaid players in hopes they will be the upgrade they need."
The Patriots have been slow in free agency, allowing defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga to sign with the Chiefs. Tonga was a significant contributor to the Patriots' defense, helping to prevent running backs from exceeding 50 yards. Fans were disappointed by his departure. Analysts believe the Chiefs overpaid for Tonga, who has not recorded a full sack in his career and primarily serves as a run-stopper. This decision may benefit the Patriots in the long run, as Tonga may not fit the Chiefs' defensive needs.
